1701 E Arden Dr, Bloomington, IN 47401

Mid-Century Soul. Modern Vibes. Prime Bloomington Living. A rare find in the heart of Arden Place, where timeless design meets modern potential. This isn’t just a house; it’s a Bloomington original that’s been loved by one family since 1961 and is now ready for its next chapter. You’ll feel the character the moment you walk in, sunlight pouring across original hardwoods, a statement fireplace that anchors the living space, and that retro passthrough kitchen with just the right amount of vintage charm. It’s warm. It’s inviting. And it’s full of possibilities. Whether you’re dreaming of a sleek renovation, a stylish mid-century revival, or a first home that feels truly your own, this property is the perfect canvas. Outside, you’ll find a fully fenced backyard ideal for entertaining, gardening, or a quiet glass of wine at sunset. And because comfort matters, the home has been lovingly maintained and updated with triple-pane energy-efficient windows (with lifetime warranty), a newer HVAC system, updated water heater, added insulation, and a fully encapsulated crawlspace, all the upgrades you don’t see but definitely feel. Located just minutes from IU, the YMCA, shopping, dining, and top-rated Childs Elementary, this address nails that sweet spot between location, lifestyle, and legacy. A home with heart, history, and a seriously enviable zip code.
